The Uni-Knot System |
| For Terminal Tackle |
| Strong, reliable, and easy to tie, the
Uni-Knot is an excellent knot for securing line to terminal
tackle. It's also the foundation of the entire Uni-Knot
system. Note that the Uni-Knot can be left as a loop
or tightened down so it's snug to the hook eye. |
| |
- Run at least six inches of line
through the eye of the hook, swivel, or lure,
and fold to make two parallel lines. Bring the
tag end of the line back in a circle toward
the hook or lure.
|  |
- Make six turns with the tag end
around the double line and through the circle.
Hold the double line at the point where it passes
through the eye, and pull the tag end to snug
up the turns.
|  |
- Hold the double line at the point
where it passes through the eye, and pull the
tag end to snug up the turns.
|  |
- To create a snug knot: Pull the
standing line to slide the knot up against the
eye. Then continue pulling until the knot is
tight. Trim the tag end flush with the closest
coil on the knot.

|
| |
| For Joining Lines |
- Overlap about 12 inches of the
ends of two lines. Form a Uni-Knot circle with
the tag end of line "A."
|  |
- Wrap line "A" five times to form
a Uni-Knot around line "B."
|  |
- Snug the knot by gently pulling
on both ends of line "A" with enough tension
to close the wraps, but not so tight that it
actually grips line "B."
|  |
- Form a new Uni-Knot circle with
the tag end of line "B" and wrap line "B" five
times to form a Uni-Knot around line "A." (Use
only four turns for 60-, 80-, or 100-pound-test
monofilament.)
|  |
- Gently pull line "B" with one hand
and line "A" with the other to slide the two
Uni-Knots together until they jam--then pull
tight. Then tighten the wraps around the standing
lines by firmly pulling the tag ends of each
Uni-Knot. Snip the tag ends.
